In 2018, On Spec #Podcast started producing narrative stories with our supporters' backing. We raised $22,000, a small amount for the big $$ it takes to do these investigations. Six years later, we have made five seasons and won recognition globally. chuffed.org/project/onspecpo…
We've made 10 percent of our goal! Keep it coming and we can get this audio documentary made with your help. We are traveling on planes, trains, ships and buses to get this done. #podcasting #fundraiser #investigation Link to donate: chuffed.org/project/onspecpo…
Our next series touches on a global movement in this moment to hold powerful men who abuse girls and women accountable. The outrage in the #Epstein scandal shows the collective rage. Help us fund our investigation to tell stories of survivors chuffed.org/project/onspecpo…
